\"\"<\/a>Last week we posted highlights of the 2015 Moment lineup (2015 Moment Preview<\/a>). Today, I will share my thoughts and opinions of the new 2015 Moment Underworld<\/strong>. I tested the 187cm size which measures out to 132-106-123 with a 27mm sidecut. This ski features a “Dirty Mustache” rocker, Paulownia\/Pine core and a Lowfat layup for weight savings.<\/p>\n

Although the 2015 Moment Underworld<\/strong> is essentially a narrower version of their Deathwish<\/strong>, also considered a touring ski, this does not ride like a touring ski in the slightest. Even though the 187cm only weighs in at a staggering 2000 grams, it holds an edge like a metal clad race ski. I guess this is due to the Dirty Mustache Rocker. What that translates to is a rocker tip and tail, a low center camber and two sections of micro camber just in front and behind the bindings. The Moment employee explained to me that this makes the edges like serrated knives that gouge into the snow and hold with shark tooth-like grip. He was right on the money with that analogy. The second the ski goes on edge, you can feel the advanced rocker working. I felt glued to the snow, even in transition. While many skiers will initially sense this as catchy, I assure you, it just depends on how you want the ski to turn. You can make the choice.<\/p>\n

Other manufactures in the touring ski category do many specific things well, but fail to put together an entire package. Whenever I hear of companies trying to make their skis lighter, it usually means they sacrifice stiffness. In this case, Moment has found an excellent balance between weight and handling. I found the Underworld to be an excellent tree ski, but it was still able to handle the chunder of ungroomed terrain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
